ABSTRACT:
A low resistance electrical connector comprising a flat bar having multiple lateral fingers projecting from the bar to form flat compression pads for attachment of electrical connectors, and an insulating housing surrounding said bar and including relatively short cylindrical projections enclosing a short extent of each finger and presenting a circular shoulder at the proximal end of each finger or the inner end of each compression pad so that a rocket may telescope over the shoulder and seal the connection to each pad. The number of fingers projecting from each bar may vary and they may project from one or both lateral sides of the bar. The connector is made by laser or waterjet cutting a flat sheet or bar of conductive metal such as copper, aluminum or a laminate to form a blank. The sheet is cut to avoid excessive scrap so that the space between fingers becomes the fingers of another blank. The blank is deburred and placed in a mold to form the insulating housing and cylindrical projections. Holes are drilled and tapped in the projecting pads either before or after molding.
